Default Carbon engine bay

hi all,

just curious to know how popular this option is?

is it something that can be easily retro-fitted at a later date ... from reading the posts, im assuming that the answer is yes?

thanks,

julie

hi I have the carbon engine bay, and yes it can easily be done, maybe a couple of hours of work, from the looks of it, its just a thin sheet of carbon fiber that goes over the plastic

Default It actually replaced the factory plastic

All of the carbon parts replace the existing factory plastic parts installed in the US models.

It is an easy install and we normally do it in about an hour.
